A GREAT WEEK.
Attractions at the Exposition
Some of the Best Points.


The current week will be very inter
esting at the Exposition, as a good num-
Der of special days are crowded into it.
To-day will be orphans day. Tuesday,
the goth, will be given over to the farm
ers and gardeners, and great crowd of
country folks will of course be present.
Thursday, 22d, coloreN peoples day, has
been especially chosen in compliment
to the fact it is the AM iversary of Lin
coins great proclamation of liberty,
which came into EJECT the following
Jan. l. Hon. John A. LangSon, at
one time American minister to
Liberia and a well known colored
orator, will deliver an address in
and the matter of it will be on what
elevates and ameciorates the condition
of the races. Saturday, 9th inst, will
probably be millers' day, but this is not
definitely fixed just at present. So far
this is the forecast for the coming
week.
Receipts for the first fifteen days are
40 per cent. greater than for the same
period last year. The railroad tickets
equal so far the total number of tickets
for 1856.
The fireworks of Saturday night were
the last and, it may be added, the best
of the season. They were again enjoyed
by crowd of people that packed every
bit of ground where it was possible to
get view. The set piece was very per-
feet and very ornate, and represented
st. Anthony'S falls in a setting 100 feet
long by % feet high.
Thorp and CaStellet, on the horizontal
bar, closed their engagement Saturday
night.
Too much stress cannot be placed OH
the fact that Robert Mickle, the famous
magician, will be here this full week
and give two performances daily, be-
cause in every respect he ranks at the
very top of his profession and is as well
and favOrably known as the great Her.
mann. His first performance will be
given this morning.
In the department of art a good deal
of what is represented is of foreign
origin, but on the ground floor there is
one room that should appeal to every
patriotic person, and that is the hall
containing the work from the 'School
Of Industrial Art for Women in New
York city, because it is thorough
American institution. The history of
this school from its earliest inception is
another example of the untiring energy
displayed by Americans, whether they
be men or women, when they start to do
anything, and the present extensive and
useful school, bywhich great industry is
open to women is due entirely to the
unwearied eXertions of Mrs. Florence
E. Cory, the present head of the estab-
lishment. Ten years ago Mrs. Cory
first thought of getting up designs for
carpets in more practical manner than
hitherto, and, accordingly, commenced
to interest the manufacturers with her
lGea. Gradually she was permitted to
receive practical instruction from the
designers in the various factories, and
when efficiently competent commenced
the ScheOl in a small way. 1t was at
first more OF less handicapped by the
petty trials that attend all new ventures
but of this Mrs. Cory should be all the
prouder now that it is firmly estab-
liShed institution, having roll of pupils
numbering over 300 ladies, and having
the patronage OF some of the most
prominent neople in the country. The
exhibit shows what a thorough and
high class of work must be the aim of
the art instructors of the institution,
and includes designs and sketches for
carpets of different and varied order.
such as Brussels, Administer carpets
and Smyrna rugs, oilcloths, wall
papers, stained glass, linens,
calicos and prints. Each design

tive. In handsome case are kept sep

the handiwork of the more advanced
pupils in the school, and these are for
sale, Including hand painted screens and
bric-a-bac work, both useful and pretty
in house. The extreme chcapness of
these goods Edts them in reach of all,
